Kill in all directions. Fiction
Kill in all directions.

During the pseudo-Manchurian period in western Liaoning, a series of assassinations targeting the Japanese and collaborators raised high alert within the "Special Higher Police". The note that read "Kill this person, kill in all directions" became the only clue. Who was "Kill in all directions"? Was it the legendary bandit who had supposedly been "shot dead" by the Japanese during their encirclement, Kill in all directions? Or was it Zhang Tao, the refined "Councilor" of Manchukuo and the savior of the Japanese Prince? Perhaps it was the underground anti-Japanese organization in South Manchuria, or the secret agents infiltrating Northeast China for a revival plan! In bustling cities and remote forests, the shadow of Kill in all directions lurked everywhere. When the arsenal exploded, it was Kill in all directions; when a turncoat who had sided with the Japanese was hanged upside down, it was Kill in all directions; and when communist traitors were assassinated, it was also Kill in all directions! When the real bearded Kill in all directions took several shots and remained standing; when Zhang Laicai, the leader of the South Manchuria branch, sacrificed himself; when the entire Liaoxi Anti-Japanese Salvation Army perished while covering the detonation of the munitions ship; and when Zhang Tao and others met their end in a special military train, Kill in all directions immediately assassinated the chief of police. The Japanese finally understood that Kill in all directions was a belief in defending dignity, a totem of this dark land. It was an indomitable flame of resistance against Japan! Let us together enter the sealed realm of the legendary tales of Manchuria and return to that era of the war where blood and fire intertwined!
